[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 464052, member: 6496"] From what I can gather on your post Carrie, I think you and your vet did all that you could and made the right decisions. Hindsight is always 20-20 and the shoulda, coulda, woulda's always come after the fact. We've never had that exact situation, but this spring we had a first time heifer calf when we weren't home. We got home to find the HUGE calf delivered, but dead, it's head was tucked between it's front legs, and the bedding in the pen was all tore up like the heifer had been in labor a long time. She couldn't stand on her back legs. Long story short she did recover and was bred back and will calf in January. We've also had a cow retain placenta and after a long battle with infection she made a turn for the better, only to start going downhill again so we sold her before we paid someone to come and pick her up. If you know what I mean. Anyway, I think you made some sound choices even though they were difficult. [/QUOTE]
